Read the letter below and answer the questions in the Edmodo system.

Dear Chin Yong,

Hello! How are you? My family and I are well. I am writing to tell you
about the wonderful time my family and I had during my visit to the Golden
Sands Resorts City. I think you and your family will enjoy it too.

We arrived there in the morning and my father bought a family ticket

which costs RM55.00. Then, we got on the cruise bus.

The cruise bus took us on a tour of the replicas of several man-made

wonders of the world and then into the Golden Sands lake to view the
beautiful scenery around the lake. You can stand the side of the bus. There
are no windows so you can get a clear view and enjoy the fresh air too.

When the ride started, many passengers including Johari, took out their
camera and started to take pictures. We saw the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids
and the Great Wall of China. After that, the bus driver drove the bus into the
lake. Everyone was surprised and some of the passengers screamed in delight.
Everyone stuck their head out to see how deep the bus would go into the lake.
We saw many colourful flower plants and trees around the lake.

I hope you and your family will visit The Resort City. I will download some
photographs which Johari took and sent them to your email. I have to go now.
Please write when you are free. Bye.

With regards,
Ismail

Read the story. Then, answer the questions in the Edmodo system.

Henry Ford was born on a farm near Detroit,

Michigan. He never really enjoyed farming and
left the farm at age sixteen. He always carried
around in his pockets nuts and bolts and
machinery parts. This interest in machines led
him to work for a while as an apprentice
machinist, and later he went to work for
Westinghouse servicing their steam engines.
Clara Bryant became his wife in 1888. They had
one child, a son they named Edsel.

When Henry was twenty-eight he became an engineer at Edison

Company which made electrical generating stations. The first car he made was
a "gasoline buggy" called the Quadricycle. He drove it and drew a crowd
everywhere he went. In 1903 he built two race cars to advertise the
automobile. One he named the "999", and the other the "Arrow". In 1904 Ford
himself drove the Ford Arrow. When he was forty years old Ford and eleven
investors formed the Ford Motor Company. They had a $28,000 investment in
it.

The Model T Ford was introduced on October 1, 1908. Five years later he
started using an assembly line and could produce cars faster and cheaper. The
1912 Model T Ford touring car included such extras as oil lamps, horn,
speedometer, and tools. Henry Ford's motto was "simplicity". By simplifying
the process of making cars, he was able to make the car affordable to the
common worker in America. He and his son Edsel designed a new car, the
Model A. He produced tractors to help the farmer to farm more efficiently.
Henry Ford died at the age of 83 of a cerebral haemorrhage. He was one of
many people who helped to make America great.
